How Much Zinc & Vit D Is Too Much To Take? (Srs)

I've been having some serious health problems recently with no explanation so ive concluded that I possibly have been taking too much vit d or something.

Symptoms: kidney pain, nausea, vomiting and dizziness earlier in the year, frequent urination, random testicle pain recently (Srs).
Thats all apparently stuff that vit d toxicity can give you.

ive been taking 5000 iu a day for a lonng time and 50mg zinc but maybe it has caught up to me?.

wat you guys think?
certain sites say to take only 800 iu, others said no more than 4k before possible health problems.
*shrug*

I stoppd taking all my sups, including multi as of last night and i strangely havent been urinating nearly as much already.

I've been taking at least 7,000 IUs of vitamin d3 daily for ten years now. And I'll go around 13,000 IUs if I've been around sick people or crowded places. And if I ever feel an inkling of something coming on, I'll bump it up to around 20,000 IU. Haven't been sick in forever. Blood tests immaculate.

i take like 110mg of zinc a day but i cycle it

80mg zinc oxide and 30 mg other kind of zinc

i don't think supplementing zinc everyday is good. i think zinc is one of those where u get enough in ur diet but a little more helps

vitamin d can safely be taken at 10,000 iu/day. i think u get more from being in the sun

Just a quick reminder, supps are for when your body is depleted or LOW on vitamins, so unless you have blood work done who knows if you are maxed out or over doing it.
Too much of a good thing is bad as well.
There is an unspoken thing, we are iron brothers and sisters, we are to support each other and...It is our duty to support our brothers and sisters in the iron game!

Get vites from good food.

you can barely overdose on vitamin D unless you swallow a whole package everyday

with zinc you gotta watch out for zinc/copper balance
